For fifty-six years, the Espaillat Cabral Institute has left an indelible mark on the health sector, specifically in the field of ophthalmology, by carrying the torch and leading the way in the provision of services in this branch of medicine in the Dominican Republic. Innovation and the latest advances in ophthalmologic medical technology have been an unstoppable constant at the Institute throughout its history.
We have a complete and innovative center for ophthalmologic diagnostic studies and we offer consultation services for all subspecialties:
Glaucoma is one of the leading causes of irreversible vision loss worldwide. It is a disease that progressively damages the optic nerve, the structure responsible for transmitting visual information from the eye to the brain.
Diabetes is a condition that can affect different organs of the body, including the eyes. One of the most common and potentially serious complications is diabetic retinopathy, a disease that damages the blood vessels of the retina and, if not detected and treated early, can lead to permanent vision loss.
Cataracts are one of the leading causes of vision loss worldwide, especially among older adults. However, many people assume that changes in their vision are simply a normal part of aging and delay seeing an ophthalmologist.
Many parents think squinting is just a habit or a temporary gesture. However, when a child frequently squints to watch television, read the board at school, or focus on distant objects, it could be a sign that they are not seeing clearly.
Have you ever been driving at night and felt unusually bothered by the headlights of other vehicles? Do you experience glare, difficulty focusing, or even find yourself squinting to see more clearly? While many people assume this is “normal,” it can actually be a sign that something isn’t functioning properly with your vision.
Sleeping well doesn’t just affect your energy, mood, or concentration. Your eyes also depend on rest to recover and function properly. And while many people associate eye strain only with screen use, lack of sleep can directly impact the quality of your vision and overall eye health.

“I came to the Espaillat Institute on the recommendation of a friend. And although I was surprised by how technologically advanced this medical space is, what filled me the most was the way in which each person on the team treats their patients. From the person who greets you at the door, to Dr. Espaillat himself, they make you feel important.

"About half a year ago, I began to feel that my right eye had a cataract. Dr. Espaillat performed the surgery on me approximately four months ago and it has been a great experience. Really when you arrive at the Institute you feel that in every exam, at every moment "They are professionals who take care of you and take you every step of the way."
Cataract surgery patient
I was referred to “The Instituto Espaillat Cabral “in Santo Domingo in 2018,to do an operation on my right eye. The operation was very successful. Dr. Arnaldo Espaillat did a fantastic job on my right eye. Before my operation, I could not read a book. Now I can read a book without reading glasses. I returned a second time for a check -up, which went very well also.
My experience at the clinic was very positive. I was well received and all the workers were very pleasant and welcoming.
